By West Kentucky Star Staff

LAKE CITY, KY - The Livingston County Sheriff's Office
is requesting the public's help in identifying a suspect that
committed an armed robbery in the parking lot of the Lake City Dollar
Store Sunday morning.

Deputies say a black man entered the

the store. After leaving the store, police say he entered a vehicle
in the parking lot and began sifting through the contents.

The owner of the vehicle, who had been
shopping in the store, came out and confronted the man. The man told
her to get away from him or he would shoot her.

Police say the man took several items
from the vehicle, including cash, and then left, heading west toward Marshall County on US 62. Police say the suspect is believed
to be traveling in a black Chevy Trailblazer or GMC Envoy with black wheels.

Police say the suspect is a
light-skinned black man with an athletic build, approximately 5'10 to
6'0 tall and he weighs approximately 180 to 200 lbs. He was wearing a
pair of athletic shorts, a black tank top and a gray cap.

Anyone with information about the crime
or the suspect, is asked to contact the Livingston County Sheriff's
Office at (270) 928-2122 or the Kentucky State Police at 1
